KinetiAlign Legal Services - Aligning Your Legal Strategy with Business Momentum

What We Actually Do

We've structured our services around what keeps business owners up at night. No fluff, no unnecessary complexity - just practical legal solutions that work in the real world.

Corporate Law & Business Formation

Starting a business or restructuring? We'll help you pick the right corporate structure that actually makes sense for your situation - not just what's trendy. From incorporation to shareholder agreements, we've got you covered.

Incorporation & Registration
Shareholder Agreements

Contract Negotiation & Drafting

Contracts shouldn't read like ancient scrolls. We draft agreements that protect your interests while being clear enough that you won't need a decoder ring. Plus, we'll negotiate on your behalf to get you better terms.

Commercial Contracts
Vendor Agreements

Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory

Buying or selling a business is nerve-wracking, we get it. We've walked dozens of clients through M&A deals, handling everything from due diligence to closing. Our job is to catch the stuff you'd never think to look for until it's too late.

Due Diligence
Purchase Agreements
Post-Merger Integration

Employment Law & HR Compliance

Employment law in Ontario can be a minefield. We help you navigate hiring, terminations, workplace policies, and compliance issues before they turn into expensive headaches. Prevention beats litigation every time.

Commercial Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Sometimes disputes happen - it's just business. We'll try to resolve things through negotiation or mediation first, but if litigation's necessary, we'll fight hard for your interests in court.

Why Work With Us?

We're not gonna pretend we're the only law firm in Toronto. But we will tell you what makes us different - and you can decide if that matters to you.

Business-First Thinking

We don't give legal advice in a vacuum. Every recommendation we make considers the business impact. Sometimes the "legally safest" option isn't the smartest business move - we'll help you navigate that balance with eyes wide open.

Plain English Communication

Legal jargon has its place - in court documents and contracts. But when we're talking to you? We use normal words. You shouldn't need a law degree to understand what's happening with your own business. We'll explain things clearly or we haven't done our job.

Responsive & Available

We know business doesn't happen 9-to-5. While we can't be available 24/7, we're pretty darn responsive. Email us at 11pm if you need to - we'll get back to you by morning. Urgent deal closing on a deadline? We've been known to work weekends when it matters.

Transparent Pricing

Nobody likes surprise legal bills. We'll give you clear estimates upfront and keep you updated if things change. For ongoing work, we offer fixed-fee arrangements when it makes sense. You'll always know what you're paying for and why.

We're a tight-knit group of lawyers who actually enjoy what we do. Each of us brings something different to the table, which means you get well-rounded advice.

How We Work Together

Our process is pretty straightforward. No unnecessary meetings, no dragging things out - just efficient, effective legal work.

1

Initial Conversation

We start with a call or meeting to understand what you need. No obligation, no pressure - just a conversation about your situation and how we might help.

2

Proposal & Scope

We'll send you a clear proposal outlining what we'll do, how long it'll take, and what it'll cost. You'll know exactly what to expect before we start.

3

Execute & Collaborate

We get to work, keeping you in the loop along the way. We'll ask for input when needed and flag any issues early. You won't be left wondering what's happening.

4

Deliver & Support

We deliver what we promised - whether it's a contract, a closed deal, or resolved dispute. And we stick around for questions after, because stuff always comes up.

Common Questions

Here's what people usually ask us. If your question isn't here, just reach out.

How much do you charge?

It depends on what you need. Some work we bill hourly (typically $350-$500/hour depending on complexity), and other stuff we do on a fixed-fee basis. We'll always give you an estimate upfront so there's no surprises.

Do you work with startups?

Absolutely. We've helped tons of startups get off the ground. We understand cash flow constraints and can often structure payment terms that work for early-stage companies. Plus, we've got experience with investor deals and fundraising.

How quickly can you respond?

We aim to respond to emails within a few hours during business days. For urgent matters, call us directly - we'll pick up or call you back ASAP. We get that business doesn't wait.

Can you help with ongoing legal needs?

Yep. Many of our clients have us on retainer for ongoing support. It's usually more cost-effective than one-off engagements, and you get priority access to our team. We can discuss retainer options if that makes sense.

What if I'm not in Toronto?

We work with clients across Ontario and can handle most corporate matters remotely. Video calls work great, and we're used to coordinating electronically. As long as your business operates in Ontario, we can likely help.

Do I need a lawyer for a small contract?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Small contracts can have big implications if things go wrong. Give us a call - we'll be honest about whether you need legal help or if it's something you can handle yourself.
